What are the factors that made college studies easier or more difficult for students with and without disabilities? What are the obstacles and what are the facilitators? These are the questions we investigated in a sample of 74 students with disabilities (excluding students who only reported having a learning disability) and to 154 students without disabilities from Dawson College. The goal was to identify similarities and differences between these two groups and to start the development of a closed-ended evaluation tool. Both closed and open-ended measures were administered. Results show that while students with disabilities indicated that disability-related accommodations were the most important facilitators, for the most part these students mentioned the same facilitators as their non-disabled peers. Similarly, students with and without disabilities shared most of the same obstacles. The main difference here was that students with disabilities cited disability-related issues, such as health, as a major obstacle.
